That's a lot of blood. Any landing you can walk away from, right?

I love those state flag liveries, though the NM one is pretty meh. My favorite is MD.

Show me.

That wing flex is amazing. Also, keep your eyes peeled for an ANA liveried spaceliner in Mos Eisley.

decimate (v.) c. 1600, in reference to the practice of punishing mutinous military units by capital execution of one in every 10, by lot; from Latin decimatus, past participle of decimare (see decimation). Killing one in ten, chosen by lots, from a rebellious city or a mutinous army was a common punishment in…

There's an app for that, apparently.

Looking a little tatty. Can we get a bucket of paint?

Can you use a chainsaw, Mr. Miyagi?

That's a good point, but I do think there's some telephoto trickery going on here, playing with the perspective.

My favorite picture from those flights.

Let's just hope it was quick.

I'm pretty sure that the truck that caused the collapse was ahead of the CR England truck, which got hit by the falling beam.

Makes sense to me. But I'm not a highway engineer.

Too puffy.

The above scenario was posited yesterday, before the news of the pilot being locked out.

You can see why this happened pretty clearly in this aerial shot. The new bridge will have NB and SB lanes on either side of the central pillar. Right now, traffic is running on the original road surface, on the left in the photo. The new lanes are being built on the other side, the right of the photo. The new surface…

They're taking an enormous ROW for the road through there. When (or if) they finish, it should be pretty nice. But it's a long way off.

The new bridge is being built over the original highway at that point. The new road will be lower than the original. Once they finish one side, they'll likely transfer traffic to the new surface and dig out the old. I've driven this section many times, and it's a nightmare.
